Personal Branding Session for a New Financial Firm

Drew Forrester came to the studio while launching Everant Wealth, a new financial firm in St. Louis. He needed more than a headshot. His website was in development, his LinkedIn needed to reflect the firm rather than his last role, and he wanted a library of images his designer could pull from for months without anything looking repeated.

We planned the session around three settings so the same day could produce a formal headshot, an editorial portrait, and something relaxed enough for social. Drew also works closely with physicians, so we photographed him with his wife, a pediatric emergency medicine doctor, and their daughters. That image gives his site a family portrait that also speaks directly to the clients he serves.

In the studio

Two backdrops and two set builds in the studio gave Drew a clean headshot for directories and bios, a navy portrait that holds up as a full-bleed website hero, and two environmental looks for the About page and print collateral.

A change of pace

A leather chair, a pool table, and one wardrobe change. These are the images that keep a financial firm's site from feeling like every other financial firm's site.

On location

We finished outdoors for natural light and a wider range of expressions, then brought in the family for the final frames.

What Everant Wealth received

Ten fully retouched images and a usage license that covers the website, social, and print. One session, one photographer, everything ready before the site went live.

“Amazed at the quality of the finished product! Henry was so easy to work with and was very quick on turnaround. Very creative in the process and his expertise, guidance, and expert eye made my final photos incredible to showcase on my new website. Would highly recommend!”

Live now

One session, three pages

Everant Wealth went live in September 2026. The homepage runs the lounge portrait, the About page opens with the navy studio frame, and the physicians page carries the family portrait from under the colonnade. That was the plan going in: enough range in one afternoon that no page had to repeat another and nothing had to be reshot.

Launching something of your own?

A personal branding session is built around what you actually need to publish, not a set number of poses. Tell me what you are launching and I will plan the session around it.
